It’s part of the Secrest Artists Series. David Finckel spoke with David Ford from his studio in New York about his recent re-mastered recording of Dvorak’s cello concerto.

Tonight’s performance begins at 7:30 pm in Brendle recital Hall on the WFU campus. Beethoven expert, David Levy, will lead a pre-concert talk prior to each concert and speak specifically about the music on the program.  Thursday, the trio returns with the last three of Beethoven’s trios.
